Thing 7: Technology post

The DVD format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray is pretty annoying. When they become available, I would purchase "Spider Man 3" and The Bourne Ultimatum, but don't want to have to chose one format or the other. At least some movies like Pirates of the Caribbean - World's End will be released in both formats. I was curious if a machine was available that plays both, and found this article about a combo player:http://hometheater.about.com/od/blurayandhddvd/fr/bh100fullreview.htm
I'm certainly not going to pay $1,000 for it, so guess I'll be one of those waiting on the sidelines to see who emerges victorious.

Heading into your anchorage after a day on the water, makes all that boat maintenance work worthwhile. The Bay offers something for everyone - whether you like a busy port of call like Annapolis, or to drop the hook in a secluded spot like Cacaway Island.

Things 3 & 4: Set up blog/registration

Yes, the blog was super easy to set up. This is my fourth post. I've completed the registration, and emailed the Second Holly.

Thing 2: Pointers from Lifelong Learners

Points 1-6 were all common sense to me, but #7 gave me pause for thought. Thinking over the teaching/mentoring I've done this past year, I realize that teaching or showing someone else did help solidify my knowledge. The point that will be the hardest for me is taking time to "play" when other responsibilities are always there.

Thing 1: About this program

I stumbled upon this program last Fall when doing research for RSS training. At the ALCTS national conference I attended last June, I found myself bragging to others that we would be doing this program at Howard County Library!

What's in a Name?

Jaye Holly and I share a name. Even though it's my first and her last, I've received emails and even phone calls meant for her. So now I'm setting the record straight. I was here first! And I thought sharing my name with all those other Johnsons was bad ...
